  Housing and urban policy play a crucial role in shaping the development and functioning of cities. These policies not only determine how housing is distributed, financed, and regulated but also have a profound impact on the quality of life for urban residents. As urban populations grow at unprecedented rates, particularly in developing regions, the need for comprehensive housing policies that address affordability, accessibility, and sustainability becomes increasingly urgent. 
  At its core, housing policy refers to the set of laws, regulations, and strategies designed to ensure that all residents have access to safe, affordable, and adequate housing. Urban policy, meanwhile, extends beyond housing to include broader strategies for city planning, infrastructure, and public services. Together, housing and urban policy aim to create cities that are not only livable but also resilient, inclusive, and sustainable. 
  Historically, housing policies have evolved in response to changing economic, social, and political circumstances. From post-war housing booms to modern challenges like urban sprawl and rising inequality, policies have adapted in varying ways. However, many cities still struggle with issues like the shortage of affordable housing, homelessness, and housing inequality. Rapid urbanization, exacerbated by global migration and population growth, has put further strain on already limited housing resources. As a result, addressing housing needs has become one of the foremost concerns for urban policymakers around the world.

  We can compare the whole cosmic universe with a dark room. Inside
   
  the room a few candles are flickering. With this candle-light the
   
  room is being slightly illuminated. We can call this candle-light as
   
  energy. Centring such energy each universe has developed. Several
   
  similar universes are positioned parallelly.
   
  The universe we are in does not only mean our earth or the solar
   
  system, but everything surrounding makes up our universe. Between
   
  two such adjacent universes there is a huge dark vacant space. By
   
  making an aperture through the wormhole we can cross this dark
   
  vacant space within minutes and go from one universe to another.
